Man dead after domestic dispute on NW Germantown Road

A woman contacted the Washington County Sheriff's Office saying she shot and killed her husband during an argument.

A man is dead after a shooting in the 16800 block of Northwest Germantown Road, according to the Washington County Sheriff's Office.

"At just about 1:11 p.m., a woman had called saying that she had just shot her husband," said Washington County Sheriff's Office spokesman Deputy Brian van Kleef. "It turns out they were going through some kind of divorce and having an argument, and in the course of that argument, she did shoot him."

About a dozen officers are currently at the scene interviewing neighbors and collecting evidence, van Kleef said.

The Washington County Sheriff's Office will release more information as it comes.
